Making use of useless business cards

Vince and I have been trying to catalogue his coin collection. He has a lot of different coins, mostly Australian. There were dozens of each denomination so I made use of our old business cards to help keep the various piles together. We have four different business cards: from our photo business, Vince’s two schools where he worked as bursar and a personal one which now has the wrong address and phone number on it. I use them for shopping lists mostly but I’ve got rid of a few while we’ve been sorting coins.

@JudyEv - I also have so many sheets of paper only printed on the top half. I am cutting all them in half and I create block notes with those still blank.

@LadyDuck That's a good idea too. Sometimes it seems the house is full of bits of paper.

We're hoping we might be able to sell some of these.

I'm glad to find a use for them. I don't want to just throw them out.

I'm pleased to have found a way to use them as we must have hundreds.

That is a great idea to use up some dated business cards. I try my hardest to reuse items like that for various things around here, lists and such.

Because we mostly walk to the supermarket and pick up just a few items at a time, the cards are a good size for shopping lists.

@JudyEv I must sort my collection too. I had thought of off-loading my coins and stamps onto my grandchildren but such hobbies are now out of vogue.

That's true. Our boys don't want to be saddled with them and what can you do with them?

Waste not want not as my grandmother used to say. A great use for those old business cards.
